II. Calculate the following limits by numerical approximation, giving always closer and closer values to the given
value. Use a scientific calculator to calculate the values.

lim −𝑥 + 2 =
𝑥→−5

lim 2𝑥 + 3 =
𝑥→0

𝑥−2
lim =
𝑥→2 𝑥 2−4

9(𝑥 − 5)
lim =
𝑥→5 𝑥 2 − 24

𝑥+1
lim 𝑥−2 =
𝑥→2

𝑥2
lim =
𝑥→1 (𝑥 − 1)2

III. It is possible to obtain lim 𝑓(𝑥) = 2 and 𝑓(1) = 4 at the same time? Explain why it is possible or why not.
𝑥→1

IV. It is possible the existence of lim 𝑓(𝑥) if lim− 𝑓(𝑥) = 1 and lim+ 𝑓(𝑥) = 5. Explain why it is possible or why not.
𝑥→1 𝑥→1 𝑥→1
